The difference between the two professions was worlds apart, but Lucy was well aware of that. When she had a passion for fashion design in the past, she would often seek advice from professionals in the field.
However, the criticism she faced back then was much harsher than what Koven went through.
Those professionals outright stated that Lucy was not cut out for this field.
Upon hearing that, Koven frowned in confusion.
How could that be? Lucy was undoubtedly the most promising individual he had encountered, especially considering she had not received any formal training before.
Someone with her level of expertise was not easy to come by as many aspiring fashion designers relied on marketing gimmicks instead of possessing genuine capabilities like Lucy!
"It sounds like the teachers you encountered before were narrow-minded and judgmental. The field of fashion design requires a substantial upfront investment, and it seems like they were quick to judge, seeing as you were someone from a less fortunate background.
"They completely dismissed your potential, thinking that you couldn't afford to pursue this field."
Koven despised such people. He had encountered people like that during his own journey. They were quick to judge based on appearances, assuming one's ability to pay fees based on one's attire. They would also use various excuses to deny entry to those genuinely interested in pursuing this career.
Fortunately, Koven got to know a good mentor, which allowed him to thrive in the fashion industry today.

"Of course. I've already made up my mind, and I won't slack off. I know it won't be easy, but I'm confident in my capabilities."
Koven admired people with confidence, charm, and character. Lucy embodied those qualities perfectly.
Although she approached him today as a student seeking advice, Koven sincerely wanted to befriend her.
"Lucy... No, Princess Lucy... I realize I may have been rude earlier, but I hope you can forgive me. I'd like to be friends with you."
Lucy did not take offense to Koven's previous remarks at all. "Don't worry, I don't hold grudges. Everything else doesn't matter to me as long as can be your apprentice, and I'd be more than happy to be friends with you!"

"Great!"
Koven's face finally lit up with a smile.
"That's settled, then. Whenever you have time, feel free to come to me with any questions you have related to fashion design. I'll be happy to answer all of them."
